Computer Recycling

There are three main parts that make up a personal computer. The computer is the large steel box which contains the hard drive, DVD or CD, power supply, mother board, and the processor. The computer may also contain other components such as the sound and video cards, and internal modems. The monitor could be the newer LCD or older CRT type, it is the screen, or the part of the computer that looks like a television.

The keyboard is the part which, not surprisingly, looks like a typewriter keyboard. In some older models, the computer may be housed in the same case as the monitor or the keyboard. For the purposes of this fact sheet the keyboard is considered to be part of the computer.

What happens to your keyboard or mouse?All keyboards and mouse are dismantled and sorted at our facility. Most recyclers simply shred or bale and export their keyboards. However, because we dismantles the keyboards, there are many more uses for the recycled material. These materials recovered from keyboards include plastic, rubber, wire, metal, and Mylar.

Scheduling online was a breeze and ended up being a lower price than others. I had an open pick up time between 9-5 and was able to leave the mattress outside without being home. VERY convenient. They did a great job and even notified me before and after pick up.

The website was easy to use and understand. I filled out the form and used pay pal for payment. On the day of pickup, I received a call to inform me of the arrival of the truck to pickup the items. Easy way of taking care of recycling and more. Will be using them in the near future again.

These guys are awesome & reasonably priced. I scheduled a pickup for a few used appliances over the phone a few days in advance and it couldn't have been easier - SBC quickly set things up & let me know exactly what to expect with no hidden charges, etc. Jake showed up on our pickup day exactly as expected & loaded our stuff up in no time. It's a pleasure to do business with a local company that clearly values customer service...plus, it sure seems like a better option than just dumping recyclable materials into a landfill!

Very good service to use for removing items you no longer need. Loved the fact that I could arrange for the item pickup on their website. I didn't have to be home when they picked my item up, left it outside the garage, received a courtesy call when they were on there way and bingo item is gone. Thanks so much for the easy and great service. I will be using this service in the future for sure!

Needed to dispose of a microwave, was not sure how to dispose and didn't want to just haul it thoe dump. So looked online, found SBC Recycle, was able to go online, schedule them to pick up the microwave. Today they showed up and picked it up. What was great though is I forgot this was happening, fortunately Greg from SBC called me first to let me know he was on his way. Extremely easy to do and thanks Greg for the call

Clear communication by text message before arrival. Courteous and professional service. Removed a very large refrigerator from a tight entryway. Carefully removed refrigerator doors so no damage done to my walls. Recommend their service highly. Jane

SBC Cycle are awesome!! Jake & team hauled away a large sectional couch for me down 3 flights of stairs! Super easy to do business with through the website. I'll be using them again in the future for sure.

Very Reasonable price - Placed order to pick up 3 busted dryers on my way to work at 730 am. They were off my lawn and everything was clean and worry free by the time i got home at 4! 10/10 would recommend.

Five star service! The folks at SBC Recycle could not make it easier. I was able to do everything online and they picked up everything right on schedule. Fantastic service, perfect execution. Thanks Bert, you really made my day.

The website is easy to find items, and then when I had a question about whether I could have something picked up, I called and spoke to a very helpful and friendly employee. 4 step process is simple to place your order and pay.On the day of pickup, I received a text that my driver was on their way. Then when he arrived, shortly thereafter, he loaded everything up with ease.This process was easy and I would recommend this service to anyone!
